BlackMatch wins Blurimini Cup, Italy
08/06/2008 Today was the final day of racing in Blurimini and we took on World #8 Torvar Mirsky, in a best of 5 final series to see who would be the 2008 Blurimini Sailing Week Champion.
It was a very eventful day that involved a protest against the race committee, us getting caught up in a fishing net and some very exciting racing in perfect 8 knot conditions! Eventually we won the final 3-0.
It was great to get our second win in consecutive regatta's and also to beat Mirsky who has had the upper-hand on us recently. Although Mirsky Racing did a season in Europe last year, they are the other 'young team' on the tour and it was always going to be a grudge match. It is good to know we can compete with them with so few regatta's under our belt and we hope we can keep improving to take on the big guns next week in Korea.
BlackMatch would like to again thank our sponsors: FedEx Express, Ross Munro from Line 7 and Waiwera Infinity, RNZYS and everyone else, thank you for your support.
